Okay, so I'm a huge Marvel fan, have been for years, yet I found this show completely by accident. I was trying to find books online when I stumbled across this show I've never even seen so much as a trailer of and man does Marvel's marketing team suck because it's exactly the type of thing I like.
Now, I'm a sucker for the "Person thinks they're crazy but actually has cool supernatural powers" trope and Legion not only delivers my favourite trope, but also puts a great spin on it too. Believe me when I say this show is a trip. Throughout you never really know exactly what's going on but that's the beauty of it. It's a mystery that you're solving alongside the characters as they're trying to figure out just what David is. And I have to tell you, if I could, I would have binged the entire show in a day because it keeps you glued to the screen, each new episode has a new twist and a new moment that makes you go whaaat???
Really at this point, my only complaint is the godawful ugly yellow eyed fat suit demon thing... yeah, that's a thing. I think it would have been more effective just to have some dude in contact lenses, I can hardly bare to look at it, it just looks so stupid....
But other than that, I love the show so far. The characters are interesting and the mystery and twists will suck you in. Granted it will not be for everyone. I'd say you will probably like it if you like the x-men. Personally, I found it because I was looking for something similar to the movie Constantine. Be warned though, lots of mindgames, it's not for those looking for a straightforward point a to point b, monster of the week show. However I do reccommend it.
